"To Retrieve.... (continued)":
Vale walked through the horde, up to the front line. They had stopped abruptly. "What the fuck is wrong?!"
"Barriers." responded Starrk. "He's prepared."
Vale reached out, the barrier sparking beneath his touch. He stepped back and motioned for the hordes to move. "Tears it down!" Waves of arrancar slammed into the barriers. The first two breaking with ease, as they made their way into the cave and down the tunnel. The third, however, posed a problem. The arrancar began pile up around the barriers perimeter. "Use your ceros, you asses!" Vale motioned for the next wave of arrancar to make their move. Dozens of ceros shot past Vale and the Espada, breaking the third barrier more than thirty minutes after the first arrancar hit it. The fourth barrier, just past the tunnel, shattered under the force of Azayaka's power nearly an hour later.
The fifth barrier didn't budge, even with the added strength of Starrk. The hordes continued to force themselves against the barrier. He motioned, calling for them to stop. He stepped closer to the barrier. "Knock knock, Ichimaru."

"The Aftermath of Anger":Vale stumbled out of the gargunta followed by Azayaka and Koga with Yumiko in his arms. "Fuck it all to hell!" shouted Vale. "This is some shit. That stupid fucking bitch!" "She is a god, Vale." said Koga sitting the struggling the Yumiko to the ground. "It is in her very nature to be more powerful than you or I." He punched Yumiko in the face to subdue her. Koga hit her twice more, before Vale grabbed him and threw him away from her. Vale knelt down and wiped the blood from her face with his jacket. "I'm sorry." He slid Mizue from her obi and placed it on the ground behind him. He looked to Azayaka. "Take Koga and find your father." "Give me her zanpakuto." replied Azayaka. "I will take it to my father." "You will take Koga. And, you will leave right now to go find your father." He grabbed Mizue and tucked it into his obi behind his back. " Now!" Azayaka huffed and stalked away. He looked back to Yumiko and said nothing. After a few moments, he stood looking down at her. "I would rather not have to restrain you, Yumiko. Please don't make me."

Yumiko stayed quiet for a few moments then raised her hands to start healing the swelling on her face from Koga’s hits. She winced as she passed a sensitive cut but otherwise stayed silent. Meanwhile, Vale turned to observe their surrounding. As the pain began to fade, Yumiko rose to her feet, glanced at his figure and then turned to the moon.
“Why did you say sorry?” she asked, wrapping her arms around herself against the chill in the air. |

Vale didn't answer. He glanced over his shoulder to see her taken by the chill. He removed his jacket and draped it over her shoulders. "You ask too many questions, Yumi. I'm not in the mood..." He looked out over the dunes. "Are you ok?"

Yumiko wrapped the extra layer of warmth over her sleeping kimono before replying. “Besides my dislike of being here again, yes, I am alright.” Her eyes narrowed slightly. “Koga lied about me becoming an enemy of Soul Society.”
I hadn’t lost my home there, she finished in her mind.

Vale shook his head and thumped down in the sand. He scooped up and handful of sand and let it fall between his fingers. "You care that much about what an Espada says?" He glanced at her quickly. "You can see just as well as he can. So, what makes him anymore powerful than you?" Vale fell onto his back as he ran his fingers through his hair. "I didn't have to go through all this shit when I was by myself. You people give me a headache. Bunch of pains in the ass."

Yumiko chuckled shortly as she looked down at him. “I’d take headaches over heartache and ….” she decided to keep the nightmares to herself and turned back to moon and the endless landscape below it. “As to taking Koga’s words as truth…. it’s because I already lost one home because I escaped the illusion crafted by the its current ‘King.’ I did not want to lose another.”
She looked down at her hands. “An there were some truth to his words. Ukitake-san was hurt as he had warned.”

"You win some, you lose some. Not the end of the world, Yumi...Yumiko." He sat up slowly and shook the sand from his hair. "So, Koga tells a bit of truth and some lies. Does that hurt your feelings?" he said in a mocking tone. "If being with Aizen has taught you anything, Yumiko...I figured it would be to not take everything you hear here as truth."
"But, his sight..." said Yumiko, her voice barely a whisper.
"Means very little to someone who can see just as well as he can..."

Yumiko looked at him for a moment and then back to their surroundings. “I suppose you’re right when he didn’t see Kita making that escape route.” Yumiko touched her still sore cheek and then let her hand down. “I hope she gets to keep her freedom. For her sake and the child’s.”

Vale sighed and rose to his feet. "We need to head back to the palace. Hopefully, some part of it still stands." He looked down at Yumiko. "By we, I mean you and I. Do not make me carry you back. I'm tired."

Yumiko took a deep breath. She had no desire to return to the palace or to Aizen’s side, but she didn’t see running as a viable option now. And with tempers as short as they were…. She closed her eyes, remembering Kita’s letter.
“I won’t run,” she murmured at last, keeping the jacket around her.
Not now.

Vale moved Mizue from his back to his side opposite of Yumiko. "Let's go then."

Yumiko nodded but didn't move when Vale did. He halted a few feet away. "Yumi," he called out. When she still stayed still, he went back and grabbed her arm, walking again. This time, the noble followed. Before they jumped into shunpo, Yumiko pulled her arm from his grasp to leap on her own.

"Skinning a Snake": (continued)
As his master rose, Shinsou ripped through him multiple times. Gin withdrew his Bankai in the next movement and plunged towards his opponent, eyes turning into vermillion slits again as Shinsou clashed against Kyoka’s dancing edge. “I have to say no one is as much fun as you when it comes to swordplay,” he purred, his pace not faltering, twisting around even as Kyoka cut into him many times. The sparks of pain just blended into the scenery. “Who is rustier this time, I wonder?”
Eyes narrowing, Gin arched his blade up and around, slicing into Aizen’s right eye. “That’s for killing one of my favorites before I was done with them,” he quipped, catching another swing from Kyoka along the hilt of Shinsou, ignoring a nip of steel to his fingers. “Not that you won’t heal-”
He coughed and Aizen took the opportunity.

Knowing no good was going to come from this, Kita followed the two out into the sands of Hueco Mundo. She stumbled forward, her arm wrapped around her mid-section. When she looked up from catching herself on the rubble she watched as Aizen blade came up and was about to crash down on top of Gin's heads.
"STOOOP!!" Her arm extended, hand open wide as she projected her shield toward Gin knocking him off his feet and a way from Aizen's attack. "STOP!!" She screamed again as she got her feet under her and ran toward them. Tears ran down her face, blood down her side soaking the sheet around her. She fell, wincing she got back up on her feet and continued toward them.
"PLEASE!!" She cried, "PLEASE LORD AIZEN!!" She fell to his feet, head lowered as she sobbed. "Please... Please don't kill him. I am begging you... Please."
